Battle of the Leopard Print Scarves

We all know animal printed scarves, especially those with leopard and cheetah prints, are going to be extra hot this coming fall season. But with so many versions being sold in the market, which one would you spend your money on? They all look the same after all, save for differences in price, size, and material. Take for example, these leopard printed scarves:

Top: Diane Von Furstenberg Cheetah Land Wrap Scarf (Shopbop); Echo Design Leopard Print Scarf Ring (Zappos); Tolani Leopard Print Scarf (ChickDownTown); Kashmere Leopard Print Cashmere Silk Scarf (BlueFly); Echo Design Feminine Feline Scarf (Zappos)

Bottom: YSL Leopard Print Scarf (MyTheresa); YSL Leopard Print Snood (MyTheresa); Kashmere Leopard Print Cashmere Wrap (BlueFly); Echo Leopard Print Ring Scarf (Tobi); We Are Owls Snow Leopard Scarf (Shopbop)

Among the ten choices, which one would you buy? Would you base your choice on type of material? Do you want it to feel as luxe as its price tag? Or would you go for what fits your budget?

Whether you’re buying the very expensive YSL, or the really cheap Echo, what actually matters is you enjoy what you purchased and you wear it with style. Because the reality is that looking good does not always have to be expensive.

Nice! The red pumps did a great job of adding color into the dark yet casual outfit. And I definitely love the way she dressed up the whole look with a piece of leopard printed scarf. She looks fierce and totally fabulous.

The purple purse is actually just a plus. Come to think of it, despite all the colors, she looks great! You know why? Because they complement.
